Fri, 24 May 2019 16:19:16 GMTHi All,
I've been using the new Gaea terrain tool with Lightwave, and I'm rather impressed. It generated high bit depth maps or OBJ files, and the Erosion options are wonderfully realistic - it can make separate maps of things like alluvial features, areas eroded, and where the deposits end up, which also help with texturing.

Sample attached.

However I am hitting the limits of memory using the maps as a displacement on a subdiv surface, roughly 4k x 4k maps and 16 million polygons.

(LW 2019 and LW 11.6 no significant difference I can see...)

Is there a way, short of an expensive memory upgrade, of handling more?

I've been given a pair of .isml origins and no idea how I'm supposed to use them.
Suspect TC-1 stream profiling and being able to program auto-stream macros has gone out the window. Anyone? Thanks.

Fri, 24 May 2019 09:00:27 GMTHowdy peeps,

Quick bit of bg here... I've been using a TC410 for 18 months now and have an audio issue I hope you may be able to help with.

I work for a university in the UK and apart from delivering web based learning using live video we are involved with our marketing groups in showcasing our facilities and MSc offerings.

So - with the latter we would have a 1hr live event from our studio and maybe x2 remote cameras to bring in to the mix (some of our facilities are huge, could be a wind tunnel or even part of an oil rig).

I use PTZ1 cameras for the location video with a Sennheiser wireless mic HH/lapel connected directly into the Newtek PTZ1.

The audio is clear and works a charm except for the occasional dropout. It never drops a video frame (at least that I can notice) but the audio drops are random in frequency and extremely annoying.

We have a very modern network infrastructure with absolutely crazy bandwidth and all my equipment is properly registered for all the different sub-nets.

Does anyone have any clues as to what maybe causing the audio dropouts?

...Hi,

I added a RainDrips texture to RmanCollect,
texture and node in windows versions.

-"Number of Passes" with "Laps", to get nice drip trails (not used in the above animations),
but at least 10 passes are necessary, so very slow to render (with reflections and/or refractions).

The obj exporter is taking ages to save it. I'm talking 100kb per second speed on an SSD drive.
I know it shouldn't take too long cause I've saved it from other applications as well.
What's going on?

Thu, 23 May 2019 06:30:04 GMT'Tis my day for weirdness I guess.

I've a mirror (that I'm about to replace with just about anything other than a mirror)) that's picking up a "reflection" but I can't figure out what from.

At first I thought it was the wall surface, but no. I put an object (red arrow) between the mirror and the apparent source, but that didn't block it. I then but another object (a black slab) between the camera & mirror & that was able to block it. I gave that a partial dissolve & edge colors to show where.

But there's nothing there in the scene other than the 64 lights, but the angle is wrong.

I've tried different surfaces on the mirror but have the same result. Started with dielectric but this screen grab is just using standard to simplify things; Raytrace only & Glossy reflections off in each case though.

Yep, I can slice this another way via CommandInput("ZoomFactor " + string(ZoomFactorVariableName)) ...
... and I can convert that to focal length mm, but it is not the same as directly saying "having set the camera's final width x height, NOW I want to specify an exact horizontal FOV angle value."

In other words going via ZoomFactor -> FocalLength mm is not giving me the same FOV which an "identical" camera (same focal mm & same render final width x height) from Terragen is showing ...

Anyone with any clue as to how to specify a hFOV via LScript?

Thu, 23 May 2019 02:46:06 GMTI'm cleaning up & simplifying some geometry & re UV mapping while I'm at it. Got a nice clean UV via Rizom, but before I realized I'd gotten my front & back islands mixed up, I was just seeing what I could do with UV tiling as a qwik fix. When I enter values for tiling in the Color node directly, it's working as expected. If instead I set up some Scaler nodes for those values, I get no change.

I recently tried installing Battlefield 3 and I certainly know I should be able to run the game because I run battlefield 5 at 100 plus FPS. BF3 is a different story though, the game will run at about 15-20 FPS. The weird thing is that if I restart my pc and launch the game, the game will run at about 120 FPS for about 10-15 min and slowly gets worse and worse as I play. The GPU seems to be starting at 80% usage and slowly drops to 60, then 40, then 20 and eventually to the point where the game is unplayable. I canít think of any reason on why this would be happening. Memory leak doesnít seem likely because the ram usage is staying relatively the same.
